Answer:
Option E) 8000
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given in the question that the number of pencils and pens in a container A are 150 and 725.
Let the number of pens and pencils in container B are x and y.
As per statement " Ratio of the number of pencils to the number of pens is 2:3"
Equation will be 
Or
------(1)
Second statement says "If all pens and pencils of container B are placed in container A then ratio of pencils and pens would be 3:5"
Equation will be 
5(x + 150) = 3(y + 725) [By cross multiplication]
5x + 750 = 3y + 2175
5x - 3y = 2175 - 750
5x - 3y = 1425 ------(2)
Now we put 




y = 3×1425
y = 4275
Now we put y = 4275 in equation 1

x = 2850
Now (x + y) = 2850 + 4275
= 7125
Now Total number of pen and pencils in container A and container B
= 150 + 725 + 7125
= 8000
Therefore, Option E) is the answer
Im gonna need to know what the choices are
Each piece will be 26cm by 4cm.
Width is 26 cm.
Length is 36 cm. The problem states that the length is 10 cm longer than the width. Since width is 26 I just added 10 to arrive at 36 cm.
36 / 9 = 4 cm.
The width will still be 26 but the length is now 4 cm.
Area = length * width
Area = 4 * 26
Area = 104 cm
